Snow, Rain, Floods. Oregon Storms Slam Rogue Farms

Winter is coming at us from all sides. Heavy rain and more floods are on the way to Rogue Farms in Independence. We’re shutting down the farm tomorrow. On the east side, it’s a massive blizzard with near white-out conditions at our farm in Tygh Valley.

Our Farmstead Malt House at Rogue Farms in Tygh Valley under a thick blanket of snow.

In Tygh Valley, where we grow our two varieties of malting barley, we received 6-8 inches of snow as of this morning. That’s more than double what the forecasters predicted – and more snow is on the way. All the local schools are closed and the roads are slick with ice.

But that didn’t stop our maltster from showing up to flip another batch of floor malt and sending us these photos.
